Northeastern had Huntington street, was anyone jealous? Boston University had Kenmore square, did anyone care? Emerson had . . . where did they keep Emerson anyway? But, BC, BC had the place of honor among colleges in Boston. BC had Chestnut Hill. Chestnut Hill was a fairytale town with the grass always being greener on its side. It was a suburban neighborhood, But since Boston College was on the bor- der between the city of Boston and the suburb of Newton, it derived benefits from both the large metropolitan city and the residential suburb. The residential suburb of Newton was located about one mile from the col- lege ' s main campus. Nev rton was a marvelously ritzy, elite, little neighbor- hood. Just driving or walking along Commonwealth Ave. from BC toward Newton, it was easy to notice the typical New England houses. The ivy palaces of Nev on was made of warm, red brick or perhaps laid out in a Tudor style. The Newton Campus of Boston Col- lege was a big part of this classy com- munity. The students who lived on the campus had an opportunity to interact with Newton ' s residents on a personal and educational level, whether it be babysitting for a local family or learning | management at one of Nev 4on Cen- j ter ' s quaint shops. in addition to Boston College students interacting with residential Newton, BC , also benefited from Boston itself. The . Circle was just one of the more popular ' locations for off campus residents to live during their year of off campus housing. Many students rented an apartment in Cleveland Circle with three or four of their friends, it was a circle of public facilities, such as movie theaters, a park, stores and a mass transportation center surrounded by purley Bostonian apart- : ment houses complete with baywin- dows and fireplaces, Boston College ' s domination of the Hill provided BC students with much more than a good view of the city. Chestnut Hill embodied a Camelot for coeds during their four undergraduate years. The coeds in turn would be loyal and tnje to it and their alma mater in the i years to come.
